About me

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or struggling with something that's difficult to put into words. Perhaps you've been carrying things on your own for a long time and are looking for a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

As an integrative therapist, I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all way of working so I shape our sessions around what’s best for you and your individual needs. I work from a trauma and neurodiversity-informed perspective, and creating a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space is incredibly important to me.

My aim is for you to feel comfortable being yourself so you can explore your experiences and emotions at your own pace. I value authenticity in the therapeutic relationship and believe therapy works best when you feel able to show up exactly as you are.

Our work together will be guided by your goals and what you hope to gain from therapy. I'll regularly check in with you and review our progress to ensure our sessions continue to feel helpful and supportive. I'll draw on a range of therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you, including person-centred therapy, CBT and transactional analysis.

I work with a wide range of issues and regularly support clients who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns or struggle with low self-esteem, self-worth and confidence. Together, we can explore what may be keeping you stuck, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, build self-confidence, and work towards meaningful, lasting change.

I particularly enjoy supporting women experiencing challenges connected to identity, motherhood, and hormonal health.

Alongside this, I have experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD, autism, or both. Together, we can explore how these experiences may be impacting your wellbeing in a way that feels authentic to you.

Through my work within a charity that supports victims of crime including victim-survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence, I have also gained deeper understanding and knowledge in working with trauma and its impact on emotional wellbeing.

Areas I regularly work with:

  • Anxiety
  • Self-esteem and confidence
  • Depression and low mood
  • Trauma
  • Feminist issues such as identity, menopause and other hormonal changes
  • ADHD
  • Autism
  • Domestic abuse
  • Stress and burnout
  • Grief and loss
  • Relationship, family issues and dynamics
  • Work-related stress
  • Maintenance of overall mental health

If you're considering therapy, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. It's an opportunity for us to chat, for you to ask any questions you may have, and to get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.
